"Oceania", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh band rock alternatif The Smashing Pumpkins, mengupas tema kesepian dan penebusan. Liriknya yang puitis mengungkapkan perasaan terisolasi yang mendalam, namun juga menawarkan secercah harapan dan kesempatan untuk bertumbuh. Penyanyi mengeksplorasi gagasan tentang cinta yang terkekang dan rasa sakit hati yang dapat disebabkan olehnya. Dia menemukan penghiburan dalam kesendiriannya, melihatnya sebagai alternatif yang lebih baik daripada berada di dunia yang rusak atau hancur.
Oceania Lyrics
The Smashing Pumpkins
No one can love you
'Cause no one can free you
Lovers can't touch you
'Cause lovers might reach you, yeah
I'm so alone, so alone
But better than a wretched world
Better than a broken pearl
I'm so alone, so alone
Better tha I ever was
Better than a just laid cause
Night may keep you sworn
May bring you storms
From chest to stern
The jouney's blessed
The warnings circumspect
With dreams I've had
With dreams I've had
And still she's gone
And still she's gone
Night will fill your rest
Negate you best
With dreams I've had
With dreams I've had
Oh would I follow you
How could I have ever doubted you?
Sweet baby, nuture me
Sweet lady, if you please
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way...
Skirt the cliffs of your illusion
Find the faith on me
My mistake as the last remaining soldier
Was to take the place of you
Love the way
love the way and learn
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
'Cause no one can free you
Lovers can't touch you
'Cause lovers might reach you, yeah
I'm so alone, so alone
But better than a wretched world
Better than a broken pearl
I'm so alone, so alone
Better tha I ever was
Better than a just laid cause
Night may keep you sworn
May bring you storms
From chest to stern
The jouney's blessed
The warnings circumspect
With dreams I've had
With dreams I've had
And still she's gone
And still she's gone
Night will fill your rest
Negate you best
With dreams I've had
With dreams I've had
Oh would I follow you
How could I have ever doubted you?
Sweet baby, nuture me
Sweet lady, if you please
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way...
Skirt the cliffs of your illusion
Find the faith on me
My mistake as the last remaining soldier
Was to take the place of you
Love the way
love the way and learn
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
